Located at both the top and the bottom of the bag are a pair of handles.

These handles can be used to work on your grappling techniques such as throws and takedowns as well as to train striking in the clinch position.

The bag itself measures 66inches tall, with the entirety of the surface area covered in shock absorbing foam.

This allows you to practice striking at multiple height different levels, for example you can comfortably throw both low and high kicks. This is something that isn’t possible on many free standing bags out there as there is usually a pole in the way connecting th bag to the base.

Due to the fact that the Versys VS.1 is so lightweight, it isn’t really suitable for drilling high powered explosive strikes. Instead, it is more designed for working on endurance, technique and transitions to the ground.

I’ve actually got one of these at home and usually spend 10-minutes light striking, 10-minutes combining strikes with take downs and finish with 10-minutes ground work drills.

Not only is that a great way to instil and maintain muscle memory, it’s both fun and a pretty intense workout.

I honestly can’t think of another bag on the market that has so much to offer.

Quality

Century are fairly well known for producing some of the highest quality martial arts gear on the market, with the Versys Fight Simulator being no exception.

The Versys VS.1 features thick foam padding and high quality, durable vinyl material that coats the outside of the bags body,

The Versys comes with the base already filled, which is a massive bonus as it saves you from having to do that yourself. Most free standing bags require you to fill the base with either water or sand, which can get pretty messy and takes a fair amount of time.

Price

The VS.1 is the cheapest of the Century Versys range and when you consider the versatility and quality it has to offer, makes it incredibly great value for money.

Century Versys VS.2 Review – Grappling Simulator

Moving onto the second model in our Century Versys Fight Simulator review, the VS.2 model.

About

The Century Versys VS.2 is one of the first standing, grappling dummies on the market.

Let’s take a closer look.

Usage

The Century Versys VS.2 is designed to stand up on its own and is tailored towards training different grappling techniques. ​

This in turn makes it a fantastic choice for those you looking to practice your Judo, BJJ wrestling and MMA.

With the VS.2 featuring both 2 arms and 2legs, you’re able to perform submissions such as arm bars and leg locks as well as takedowns and throws.

With the VS.2 featuring both 2 arms and 2legs, you’re able to perform submissions such as arm bars and leg locks as well as takedowns and throws.

I honestly love how it’s able to stand up on its own. This makes training with the VS.2 a lot more realistic than using other grappling dummies where you have to hold them up yourself.

Although the bag is well padded, it isn’t the best for working on your striking. This is because it only weighs around 50lb so it topples over pretty easily if hit with too much force.

Having said that, once you’re on the floor, it’s a great way to work on your ground and pound as well as transitioning from stand up to ground work.

One of the only bad things I have to say about the Versys VS.2 is that it’s a bit short. Measuring at 60 inches, it’s going to feel a bit on the shorter side for most people. Fortunately, I’m not the tallest guy in the world but it’s something to be aware of.

Quality

As I mentioned earlier, Century are well known for their high quality products.

The VS.2 features incredibly flexible and long lasting vinyl material that allows the bag to hold its shape incredibly well.

If for example, you’re drilling submission techniques on the ground, the VS.3 is able to pop back into position once you’ve finished.

In terms of wear and tear, there’s really nothing like it on the market. A few grappling dummies I’ve owned have worn down insanely quickly and have even ripped in some places.

I’ve had my VS.2 for a fair while now and it’s holding up extremely well.

Price

Any grappling dummy is going to set you back a fair chunk of change, however with the quality of the Versys range you can rest easy knowing its worth every penny.

The price of these bags will continue to drop over time as Century continue to release newer and more innovative products.

The bags are made to an exceptionally high standard and despite costing a fair amount, are well worth the investment.
